Not sure who to address, having a problem when converting files to my Kobo, error message on kobo reads:the content you are trying to view is locked, please use your adobe ID to authorize your ereader with the kobo desktop application or adobe digital editions. Did a sync, and did nothing, these were PDF files transfered to Calibre and then sent to devise. I can open them both in PDF or in adobe digital editions, but cannot open in my Kobo, can anyone advise or tell me how to bypass or correct this? Thanks

How do I get rid of the "Content is Locked" message for books without DRM?

Ebooks with titles or author names containing apostrophes can sometimes cause this spurious 'locked' message and render the ebook unreadable on the Kobo (although you can read the ebook using Calibre on your computer). Using Calibre, edit the title and/or author name to remove the apostrophes and re-send the ebook to your Kobo. Alternatively, if you don't wish to alter the title/author of your master copy in Calibre, you can manually remove any apostrophe's in appropriate folders and filenames on the Kobo itself.

I bought my Kobo few weeks ago. Running firmware 1.4. Every time I’m done with my reading I would power it off. After powering It on it would normally open on the page I finished. Great. ..Sometimes however looses its bookmark and opens on the very first page of the chapter I was reading. No way to get back to the last page unless you remember the number and start flipping pages. I’m new to Kobo and understand, there is no way to go straight to the page you want(eg page 57 in particular chapter).
Any ideas?

I had the same problem occasionally, even though I always let it power down automatically. I suspect it happened when the menu was opened to check for the battery level before returning to the page I was reading, and then letting it switch off. I don't think it's happened since I stopped doing that.

I have this happen too. Sometimes it opens up displaying the chapter number but a totally blank page. If I page forward (or back maybe) a couple times I get to the first page in the chapter. And then have to page until I recognize where I was.

How does a book get entered into the Kobo? Purchasing a book is easy - but how do I put in an eBook I already own from my computer? Baen books has every format of eBook available, and I tried the .pdf version. Where does it get uploaded to the Kobo?

ADE is Adobe Digital Edition; this is the Adobe software on your PC that is required to download DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected eBooks. Once you have them on your PC, then, you can "drag and drop" them to the Kobo.

The instructions for how to do that should be in the Kobo User's Manual (not the folded paper that comes in the box, but the epub file that should be loaded right on your machine; if you don't have it, you can read or download it from the Kobo site).

I had a similar problem, the book I was reading always opened at page 1. I got around it by using the features bar at the bottom and searching the book for the next chapter to read. Enter Chapter 10, enter chapter 11, etc etc. Painful but I got thru the book.
